Roosevelt shares ‘Colours’ remix by Tyler Pope (LCD Soundsystem)

Marius Lauber AKA Roosevelt recently released his self-titled debut album to worldwide critical acclaim, including praise from Pitchfork, The Guardian, The Wall Street Journal, The Independent, NPR Music, among many others, and just kicked off a North American tour with a sold-out show at LA’s The Echo. Other upcoming dates include Seattle, Chicago, Toronto, Boston, a sold-out show at NYC’s Mercury Lounge (9/27) and a soon-to-sell-out show at Rough Trade (9/28), and more- see below for a full schedule.

Today, Roosevelt shares a new remix of the single “Colours” by Tyler Pope of LCD Soundsystem. Pope says: "I really liked the melodic sensibility of the original track so it was easy for me to remix. I imagined my remix to be a combination of the pop disco that was already there mixed with techno.” Listen here.

• "A cocktail of disco, French touch, Ibiza house, yacht rock, and electropop that evokes some crowded Tiki-torch dancefloor lost on the Mediterranean coast." - Pitchfork
• "A gleaming, dubbed-out blend of '80s new wave and electro-pop that feels like Human League at the beach. His self-titled debut album features surfy synths, wistful pop hooks and imaginative instrumentals, including tambourines, shakers, live guitar and even a glockenspiel to give his vocals a dreamy echo. Melancholic and hazy, it's a bittersweet way to wind down the summer." - NPR Music, Songs We Love
• "In a post-Stranger Things world, fervor for atmospheric synth music is at its peak. Roosevelt takes that demon and makes it dance." - Bandcamp Daily
• "Electro pop of heart-tugging force" - The Sunday Times

About ‘Roosevelt’

Written, recorded and produced by Lauber over a period of two years, 'Roosevelt' the album is a pillow-soft hallucinatory dreamscape of nocturnal reveries and a lilting sense of melancholia, where sounds build and swell like waves. 'Roosevelt' showcases Lauber as a fully developed recording artist, with an instinctive synthesis of different soundscapes. This is a record with a deep affinity to the dance music world unified with sophisticated, classic song structures. His signature hazy sound is still present and correct - but this time it's honed, crafted and less loop based.

Influences span continents and decades - from a pinch of French electro pop, a smattering of LA yacht rock, the hypnotic repetition of German pioneers like Ash Ra Tempel/Manuel Göttsching, and Neu!, to classic floor-friendly 80s pop from Chic, Talk Talk, and New Order. Nu school figureheads like Floating Points, Todd Terje and Metro Area are also partially audible - all weaved into his own unique sonic tapestry.
